The Case for Black With a Capital B

Students Speak Out 1969

From 1969: In this clip a Brandeis student talks about the recent confrontation at the college as a symbol of the black people’s demand for power in an environment that influences their lives. He says the students have come to realize that their fathers and grandfathers lived in a country that did not allow them to be men. And they are demanding the right to be men and they are willing to die.
